Connections Sports Edition #772 hints and answers for Wednesday, November 4, 2026
Connections Sports Edition #772 is a baseball-and-golf board: the yellow group is the four parts of hitting for the cycle, the green group is the wedge set in a golf bag, and the purple group takes four real pitches and changes the first letter of each one. The trap is DRIVE: it looks like a golf word, but it belongs after LINE, not in the bag. Work one group at a time: hint first, then the category name, then the four words behind the tap.
Group 1 - Yellow
Hint: The four hits that make up hitting for the cycle in baseball, in base order: the one-bagger, the two-bagger, the three-bagger, and the one that leaves the park.

Group 2 - Green
Hint: Four wedges from a golf bag, named by their jobs: the standard scoring wedge, the one that fills the distance between it and the sand club, the bunker club, and the highest-lofted one for soft, steep shots.

Group 3 - Blue
Hint: Each word follows LINE to name something from sport: a hockey substitution made on the fly, a hard-hit baseball, an official in tennis or football, and a rugby set play that restarts from touch.
LINE _____
LINE _____
Group 4 - Purple
Hint: Take four real baseball pitches and change only the first letter of each: a sinker, a forkball, a slider and a cutter are hiding here with one letter swapped.
